The Memory Speaks

The Memory Speaks

I leave…
But…I come back — again.  Again
I’ll return
    through time’s opening doors,
…Fleeting through peripheral halls
    — their floors — so well cleaned 
    and polished to such perfection, I see
How they mirror my changing face ~ 
Traveling 
Off in the hours
    leading away from the  withheld moments
That come
        Spirited
               Forth
                   Again…Again
Bringing to life scenes and speech

From the heart’s guarded treasury
To be 
    annointed with your sighs…
